UART Conneciton for Companion Computer / External Flight Controller
-
I have been starting to integrate a companion computer/external flight controller to the VOXL2. Documentation says the preferred method would be to use the USB 3.0 Expansion Board (MDK-M0151-1-00). I have already placed an order for one of these. While waiting for this to come in I am trying to use (M0078), which I already have in my lab. I see in the datasheet for M0078 that J5 is a UART port that is not populated. If I populate the connector would I be able to use this for communication with a external flight controller?

@Chase-Riley the recommended approach is to use J18 ESC port directly: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-external-flight-controller/#voxl-2-connecting-an-external-flight-controller
